In the summer of 2007, the world stood on the precipice of a massive financial collapse, as the first iPhone went on sale and the Rolling Stones performed an exclusive concert for Deutsche Bank investment bankers in Barcelona. This documentary explores the rise and fall of the German financial institution, tracing its history from its 1870 founding in Berlin to its expansion into global markets and its eventual entanglement in the subprime mortgage crisis. Through interviews with former executives and experts, the film examines the culture of greed and risk-taking that defined the bank's leadership under Josef Ackermann, ultimately leading to a multi-billion dollar settlement and a tarnished reputation that persists to this day.
